[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 900945, member: 51650"] I have no experience with the new short mags but have some with the 7mm Rem Mag and 300 Win Mag. All your caliber choices are good so it is subjective from here, I agree with Michael E. on that. 7 mm is an easy shooting caliber. The recoil is very acceptable. Every one I have shot (3) have been very accurate. Excellent bullet selection so no compromise here. Trajectory is quite good also. It does not deliver as high of energy down range. 7 mm Rem Mag has been the choice for many of my friends and they shoot it [I]VERY[/I] well. That counts a lot. 300 Win Mag is a favorite of mine so this is skewed for that reason. The recoil is noticeably more than the 7mm but is still manageable. The 308 caliber has the best selection of bullets hands down, no contest. It will deliver more energy down range than the other two. Cases are available from everybody. 300 Win Mag has been used longer for 1000 yard matches than anything except 30/06 and 308. 300 Win Mag is my recommendation to people starting out for a one gun solution if I think they can manage the recoil. But really any of those three will do nicely. KB [/QUOTE]
